"I hope my next match-up is Junie Browning. Its a better match-up for me, he would stand there and fight me, it would be an exciting fight. And he was talking shit about me a bit ago...I'm looking to get Fight of the Night in my next one. I would like a Knockout of the Night as well, but I like to put on exciting fights so Fight of the Night is the one for me. Hopefully Browning would stand there and bang with me and then believe me, I'll get the bonus."

-Paul Kelly to the U.K. based Fighter's Only magazine.

Penick's Analysis: Kelly had some difficulty with Roli Delgado en route to his unanimous decision victory, and clearly is looking for a better opponent stylistically for his next fight. He's already had some barn burners with Troy Mandaloniz and Paul Taylor in the UFC, and Browning could definitely be a guy that would stand on a dime with Kelly and slug it out. It would certainly be a fun fight to watch, but would likely end up as the exit for Browning should he step up to the plate, as Kelly has shown himself to be on a different level and will be a larger lightweight size-wise. Still, we'll have to wait and see if the brash Browning bites on this one.
